Morning,
I'm not 100% sure if this belongs here so please feel free to move this to the right location.
I have an addiction to opiates that I have been battling for over a year now. I recently was able to quit doing opiates about a month ago, I had 2 relapses during that time but that is a lot better than what I was doing before I quit. Now due to being addicted to opiates I would withdraw during periods I did not have any to use which would cause me to become extremely ill and miss work. I've missed 6 days of work in the past year and my boss has advised me that he will need to write me up unless I contact my insurance provider and have them approve me under the FMLA if I have an ongoing illness. The problem is I have never told my doctor about my addiction. Am I able to make an appointment with my doctor and advise him about the addiction I have and have him approve me previous days I've missed under the FMLA? Please advise, thank you
